Former Union City residents Lugo, 58, and his wife, Antoinette, have lived in Discovery Bay for five years. Lugo said he has been involved with the food industry for many years and has cultivated a dream of opening a restaurant with items to favor the tastes of everyone salads for the ladies, heartier meals for guys and cool choices for keikis (kids). He said he has family members in Hawaii, which explains the Big Kahuna motif.
